Yup. That's what the AGW crowd uses as justification for their
hysteria.


**** you. I'm not hysterical.

NEITHER AM I AND I'LL SUE ANYONE WHO SAYS DIFFERENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's moments like these I wish I had the Berserker running. I'd hit both
of
those posts with the Tourette Bot

However I'm only in Oz for a few days to visit my kids so it's not been
worth setting up.

I need more coffee. I thought the opening comment in in the first archive
said "This script is intended to be used with a restraint order..."

In case you're wondering where I got the idea of transforming kooks'
posts in order to make fun of them, I got the idea from you, of
course.

Compliment taken, even if none was intended.

If you were still alive I'd thank you properly.



Neat stuff. I tend to code my transformations long-hand and don't make much
use of RegEx. I'm of the opinion that Visual Studio's RegEx is slow, plus I
need to learn it to a deeper level than I currently know it. I'll
disassemble your code into pseudocode to understand what it's doing. Many
thanks.

In between getting full body massages and toe-sucks from any one of several
Timorese rent-wives I'm writing Berserker VI from the ground up as a basic
newsreader with all the bots within easy reach. I intend to GPL the source
and put it up on my site, eventually. However living in heaven is my
priority at the moment and electricity is a rare commodity.

Ah well, perhaps Fred will return on a future date.

When I moved to the outlying Indonesian archipelago I gave my son my dual
Xeon beastie so I'd have to set everything up on this laptop from scratch.
It'd take too long. Sorry, mate. I plan to come back to Oz every few months
and if someone sets up an internet cafe in the straw and mud-brick village I
live in I'll set Fred loose to let you know. The only power in the village
is my 750w portable generator so it's only good enough for recharging a
laptop and running emergency lights at night if they're needed.

I've had to fork out a small fortune while I'm back here for a propane gas
operated refrigerator. Propane is easy to get but petrol is a four hour
journey away in Atambua city. It'll cost me just as much to get the thing
shipped over, assuming it doesn't sink on the death-trap ferries that ply
the region.

Mind you, I'm having fun. Interesting way to live. The only problem is, the
floor of the hut gets further from the ceiling every time you sweep it.
Apparently dirt floors will do that.

A compliment was intended. I'm slowly working towards writing a "Fred"
emulator for *nix.

I'd rather use a standard library like PCRE, but in order to do so I'd
have to make my code portable, and if I learned how to do that I'd no
longer be able to start Usenet comments with "I'm not a programmer,
but...".

On the little rack or did your buds mount a buddy pad there? Mine only
had one seat which was a PITA, but it probably wouldn;t have hauled tow
up so well anyway. They are going for big bucks nowadays!

Don't remember exactly. I do remember riding on the one guy's paper rack with
my feet in the bags. ;^)

IOW, you've got nothing. Noted.

Some folks like to believe in magical beings; others like to believe humans

either.

You wouldn't recognize evidence if it was scotch-taped to your forehead.

Go back and read junkscience.com some more; it soothes you, apparently.

emulator for *nix.

If you want it, I'll gladly send you the Fred code, including the lexical
dictionary, conjugation rules, normalisations et al. It'll take a day or so
because the lexical dictionaries are encrypted and I have to extract some
code and modify it to dump the unencrytpted data. Mail me at the address in
my headers. Use the supersekrit Cabal Obsidian Order code word so I can
verify it's you I'm sending it to.

Many, many weelks of work went into building the lexical dictionary. Almost
endless research. I can save you an awful lot of time.

If you were still alive I'd thank you properly.

Seeing as I no longer need windows for work, perhaps now is a good time to
move permanently to linux. Hmmm...

lol - there is no internet where I live. No phones, nothing. Hell, there's
probably not even a satellite in the sky. I enjoy the very simple lifestyle.
Absolutely no pressure to do anything. I have all the time I want to teach
my new-found friends about cultivating better vegetables and avoiding
malaria. There are no strings and most of the women are beautiful, and
exceedingly friendly too, for the right number of Rupiah.

The only real issue is medical care. It's non-existent here so I come back
to Oz to see my kids and stock up on essential medications. The villagers
call on me now when some poor sod gets dysentery so I keep a good store of
Imodium on hand.

Modern trappings are available if I want them, but they're in Atambua, which
is a fair hike on a walking stick. There is an irregular coach service to
the city but the timetable appears to be based on reading tea leaves and the
fall of flung chicken entrails.

I have my cash from the sale of my property, after a divorce split. I have
my superannuation, and my website brings in more advertising revenue in one
day than I need to survive a week or more here. In five years I qualify for
a reduced Australian pension (I'm not at early retirment age yet), and the
throbbing in the groin I get when I look at my RP6,000,000,000 bank balance
can't be beat. Well, metaphorically speaking and with some exceptions.

Anyway, mail me if you want Fred's guts. If you're serious about writing
something like Fred then this'll save you an awful lot of work. No
obsequious thanks required; I'd do the same for a white man.

Support taking tax breaks away from oil companies and applying them to
alternative energy development. Vote against politicians who are dumping
subsidies into bio-ethanol production and for politicians who'll spend the
money on solar and wind power. Drive a more fuel efficient car. Apply
energy conserving methods to your home and business.

Hey, I feel green already. I am literally in favor of (or against) all of
the things you are!

Don't forget, I'm the guy who tried (unsuccessfully) to buy an electric car
last fall, and we have spent the winter (and a stupidly grand amount of
money) converting every light fixture in our three 3-story buildings to
compact fluorescent bulbs.

And everyone here knows how I feel about the scam called "ethanol"...

So, you see -- even conservatives can be eco-friendly -- especially when
being that way also benefits the bottom line.

As to whether any of this will affect the world's climate, well, I think you
know my opinion of *that*...

Note that giving up your airplane is nowhere on the above list.

Whew! Thank goodness!

:-)

And I have a polite question: Do you understand why a 3 deg. C rise in
global average temperature by 2100 is a big deal?

In every model I've seen, Iowa comes out a big winner in any global warming
scenario. After this winter -- the coldest, snowiest we've ever seen in
Iowa -- I'm all for any temperature increase that we humans can muster.

Hell, we should be so lucky...

No less than you, my friend. Your position is apparently so weak you have to
resort to this tactic.

You're boring me. Come back when you have some real data.

That was on 01. They've changed their minds
